SONG
SAMPLES
1. There Will Never Be Another You. Ruth Griebel treats this great love song in a thoughtful, plaintive manner...the band swings it featuring Bob McKee's drumming, Dick Wooley, trombone; and Buddy Sullivan, tenor sax.
2. I've Got You Under My Skin. Larry Patch gives this his usual, inimitable swinging interpretation of this Cole Porter favorite. Larry does double duty as tenor sax soloist.
3. Deed I Do. No doubt who's loved in this up-tempo rendering... Betsy.
4. Blues In The Night. Ron Davis sings of the new way of looking at life and love.
5. I've Got Rhythm. The TOPS all-star rhythm section comes front and center in this big band Gershwin "smoker." Doug Day, piano; Don Day, bass; Bob McKee, drums.
Note: All arrangements for this CD are by Dick Wooley except They Can't Take That Away From Me.
